This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
NO SPOILERS. Intro: This review will be aimed at viewers who have not seen this film. It's undoubtedly a masterpiece and Ridley Scott's best. I'm talking about the Final Cut, and having seen all cuts, watch the final one; By FAR the best. I say it's the best sci-fi because I believe the originals Star Wars trilogy is science fantasy. Advice: This needs to be watched multiple tiles. The first time I watched it, I split into two nights as my Dad said, the first hour one night, then the second hour the next. The first time I watched the first hour, I wasn't convinced by the hype. I saw great visuals, sets and characters, but a confusing theme. It couldn't be identified. I paused after an hour with aspects I did like a lot, but with a few small queries. The second night, I was engrossed. I loved everything about it. The next night I watched the full thing. And my goodness it is amazing. Main advice - Watch at night when dark. It gets you in the mood for the film. What's so great: Simply, it's the fantastic main character and Harrison Ford, an iconic score, Rachel, Roy Batty, and the visuals and overall look of the film. It may be slow, but the slowness results in an excellent sense of catharsis for me. It engrosses me. I feel like I am Rick Deckard. Highlights: The opening titles, Deckard meeting Rachel, Deckard's hunt and investigation, and Roy's famous monologue. Conclusion: One of my favourite films and has a deservedly great fandom. The anti-hero (?), Rick Deckard is brilliant. Harrison Ford is a guy's hero for all ages; Han Solo, Indiana Jones and Rick Deckard. A tremendous film with a brilliant look to it and an even more brilliant story. I love every second. 10/10
I can imagine that back in the 80s this was mindblowingly good and the visuals hold up very well to this day, but story and character wise... For a movie that's relatively slow paced, there is hardly any character development, logical decisions or motivation (aside for revenge, survival and being forced back on duty) for most of the runtime. Characters make such rash decissions, it's almost laughable. All this sadly makes a decently build up universe, pretty boring.. The acting wasn't bad though. I'm giving this a 5 just for visuals and the fact that this probably has inspired quite a bit of (better) sci-fi today.
A milestone in sci-fi movies. No human eating monsters, no dark shadows that prey humans, no blood splashing scenes. A hymn to the purest aspects of real psych which conquers even man-made androids. A link between intellect and the very essence of human existence .
I'm a big Sci-fi fan but this film tried to do too much psychologically. Overrated and doesn't deserve the general rating. Worth a watch to pass judgement yourself
